Weyerbacher Fireside Ale

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Smoked
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Great smell, red/brown color, tiny white head. Very good complex smokey taste.

Bottle thanks to lukin013, thanks! Pour is clear ruby red/ brown with a smallish tan head. Aroma is fruity, caramel malt, light smoke, light spiciness, and peat. Mouth is effervescent, and slightly oily - nice mouthfeel. Flavor is smoky, peaty, light coffee, mild caramel, and hints of menthol. A tasty smoked beer, not exactly the season for it but it was nice anyway.

bottle poured a dark amber in color with a thin off white head. aroma has sweet smoked malt, peat, and a touch of raisin. mouth feel is light with low carbonation. flavor gets a bit more smoke going, roasted malt, brown sugar, bitter hops, and dark fruit. not much in the way of smoke here.

12oz bottle. Pours amber brown with a small tan head. Smells like cornish malt with almost no smoke smell at all. Tastes like alot of hardwood smoke, sweet malt, a little cornish, some caramel, and a little vanilla. Carbonation is pretty good and a sticcky sweet mouthfeel. Aftertaste is sweet. Pretty good

Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. poured a dark brown. The nose was smokey and malty. Flavor was similar, a smokey bitter ale with some belgian notes. Nice bitter finish. Pretty good.

Bottle. Moderate to heavy malt aromas of milk chocolate and postum, light resin and dough for the hops and yeast, with hints of smoke, toffee and dark dried fruit. Head is small, creamy, off-white with good but slippery lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear mahogany. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly bittersweet. Palate is medium, oily, with a soft carbonation and has metallic finish. Nothing too spectacular from this Smoked Ale, but quite unique in it’s aroma.

Bottle->lager glass: Pours a large, rocky, off-white, but lasting head that exhibits good lacing atop a clear, brown body. Aroma of burnt sugar. The body is medium with soft carbonation. The flavor’s duration is long, being moderately sweet and bitter. There is also a piney/cedar taste in this beer which I enjoyed, thought was unique and hence the slightly higher-than-average rating on my part.

12oz bottle from total wine in greenville. pours a slightly hazy, cider brown with a thin, light tan head and great lacing. aroma is nice with sweet, roasted malts, toffee, dried raisins, and dark fruits, with a hint of smoked wood. flavor is solid as well with roasted nuts, sweet caramel malts, hints of earthy, spicy hops, and just the faintest hint of charcoal and smoke. palate is slightly thin with good carbonation and earthy, bitter finish. overall, this brew did not fit the bill of a smoked but seemed more like a belgian dark or scotch ale to me. still a decent drinker.
